Research Proven Impacts of Eating Fishes on Children’s Intelligence and Development

Based on the results of eight studies, eating the right type of fish (or fish oil supplements) without neurotoxicity or pollutants is beneficial for intellectual development, higher school grades, visual function, and even the management of childhood psychiatric disorders.

However, eating fish with high levels of mercury may lead to delayed mental development and lower test scores. Even so, one study found that few children in the US have been overly exposed to mercury in this upper range, causing negative impacts on their neuropsychological functioning.

Omega-3 and omega-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) are critical for infant and childhood brain development, but levels of the omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are often low in the ...

2: "Fish Consumption And School Grades In Swedish Adolescents: A Study Of The Large General Population," Acta, 2010, by JL Kim, A Winkvist, MAI berg, N berg. (Citations: 20).

Aim: To study the associations between fish intake and academic achievement as cognitive parameter among Swedish adolescents. Methods: In 2000, a questionnaire including respiratory items, socioeconomic conditions and dietary information was mailed to all ...

Fish consumption has shown its benefits for cognitive functioning in the elderly or children with disorders (eg, autism, ADHD), but has rarely been investigated in relation to cognitive performance and school performance of healthy adolescents. We executed an ...

Abstract Exposure to fish intake is of particular interest for neurodevelopment. Seafood contains nutrients that are essential for brain development and function. Seafood is also a potential source of well-established neurotoxic pollutants. We conducted a systematic ...

Omega-3 and omega-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) are critical for infant and childhood brain development, but levels of the omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are often low in the ...

The main source of human exposure to mercury is the consumption of fish contaminated with methylmercury, which may adversely affect early neurodevelopment. This study assessed mercury levels in hair of preschoolers in Spain, where fish consumption is ...

Omega-3 and omega-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) are critical for infant and childhood brain development, but levels of the omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are often low in the ...

The EPA reference dose for methylmercury (MeHg) was established using data from populations with greater exposures than those typical of the US. Few data are available on potential adverse health effects at lower levels. We examined relationships between hair ...
